Salads-Consider building salads with dark greens. Iceberg and Boston lettuces have their place but are low on the list of nutritious salad greens. Darker lettuces and salad greens like romaine, organic spinach, and arugula contain significantly more vitamin A and C, as well as phytochemical pigments.
Intensify flavor with variations on a theme. Rather than adding a variety of seasonings to a tomato-based pasta sauce, use several different tomato products, such as canned tomatoes, slow-roasted or sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh tomatoes. This creates an intensely rich taste by 'layering' the same ingredient.
Top mashed potatoes with chopped pecans, or garnish a Mexican dish with toasted pumpkin seeds. Serve dishes of spiced nuts with beverages.
Kale or mustard greens might be too strongly flavored for a side dish. Stir them into a soup or add them to a popular pasta dish.
